InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics CBL-NTWK-0892-OPC10-BL 1 m QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics CBL-NTWK-0892-OPC10-BL is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed data transfer in rack and adjacent-rack environments. It is intended for short-reach links and supports QSFP28 interface connectivity commonly used in 100G networking, offering a compact, single-cable solution for connecting switches, routers and storage systems that accept QSFP28 transceivers and QSFP28 direct-attach connections.

Advantages

This 1 m cable provides a direct, low-latency connection with a QSFP28-to-QSFP28 interface suitable for 100G applications. Its compact length and male-to-male configuration make it easy to route in dense rack layouts. The cable is manufactured to industry MSA-compatible specifications and targets reliable interoperability with major hardware platforms that support QSFP28 direct connections.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100G links within racks and between adjacent racks
• Interconnecting QSFP28 ports on switches and routers
• High-throughput server and storage interconnects supporting QSFP28
• InfiniBand and other 100G-capable fabrics where QSFP28 is supported

Key specifications

• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Supported applications: 100G Ethernet, InfiniBand and similar 100G protocols
• Cable type: direct-attach style for short-distance interconnects
• Designed for rack and adjacent-rack connectivity

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your networking devices until the connector latches. Verify that both devices support QSFP28 direct-attach links and the chosen 100G protocol. Manage slack by routing the 1 m cable cleanly within the rack to avoid sharp bends; do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified by the device or cable manufacturer. After physical connection, confirm link status and negotiate speed on the devices according to their configuration interfaces.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-distance, high-bandwidth links where passive QSFP28 direct-attach connections are supported. Avoid extended exposure to mechanical stress, keep the cable free from tight bends and maintain good airflow in rack spaces to preserve performance and longevity.
